Summary

In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights considers some recent developments concerning unilateral sanctions on 10 countries. He then focuses on some legal issues arising from the use of unilateral coercive measures during times of war and of peace. He also suggests potential remedies and redress for victims of unilateral coercive measures and proposes that concerned States submit a request for an advisory opinion to the International Court of Justice on the legality of unilateral coercive measures under international law.
